A forum for Google's Android mobile operating system (OS), a platform run on the majority of smartphones and tablet PCs worldwide, will take place locally on November 8 at the Sri Lanka Exhibition and Convention Centre (SLECC).
According to a statement by the event's organiser, the local unit of UAE-bsed Etisalat, the forum will feature "experts from Google as well as leading smartphone manufacturers showing off some of the latest developments in the Android mobile operating system and the latest smartphones and tablet PCs that support Android OS."
Commenting on the event, by way of a quote included in the company statement, Etisalat's Senior Marketing Manager Postpay & Mobile Broadband, Gamika De Silva, stated the following: “The days of mobile-service operators simply marketing products to consumers have passed. Today's consumers are themselves the driving force behind technological evolution globally, application based operating systems like Android need tech savvy users to not only maximise their potential but also to become app developers themselves and develop the applications that will address the needs of customers.
What we have always been striving for, first with the AppZone and now with the Android Forum, is to provide the platforms and knowledge base required to empower local technocrats to be driving forces in IT development, on par with their international counterparts.” |
